“He’s killing it. He came to town, and I said, ‘I’m not doing anything for you. You’ve got to do it yourself,’” Brice said of his brotherly tough love. “But he made his own contacts, got his own co-writes, he toured the country in a van. He’s done it. And he came with some songs that blew my mind, and then I said, ‘OK, let’s do it. Let’s make a record.’”

But with all those hours in the studio for other artists, that might mean Brice’s fans have to wait a little longer for his own music.

“I’m feeling a bit behind on my record,” he said. “But one of the hardest parts for me of the recording process is figuring out what songs I need to do. I might have it down to 20 songs now, and I’ve got to get it down to 15.”
